Along those lines of the buffer switch, if you're climbing a hill with your gas pedal on the floor, when you peak the hill and if you keep it floored, the Jakes will come on when the top engine speed has been reached and the governor goes to no fuel position.  Sort of a wierd sensation to have the Jakes on with your gas pedal on the floor. Good Luck, TomC

I have a Master Switch on the Drivers side console with a cover (much like Beechcraft used on their landing gear switch..you have to lift the cover to switch them on) and a quick swipe at the cover thurn them off in town traffic.

I couldn't have made a better investment.
